VBA Malware - incorrect warning - how to make app accept

Viruses and worms
1

Hi

Everytime I click a link which is “safe” to get to another page within a HTTPS site, due to the link code Avast 4.7 Pro warns me of a virus.

There’s no virus but I understand the code looks like one.

How to add this link/code into the app to stop the warning as I need to use several such links multiple times each day and it’s driving me nuts.

What part of the app is recognising this script since I could turn off this part when I’m in the website as an easy quick fix? - ok, got this bit, it’s the std sheild

Add it to WebShield exceptions.
Look, avast WebShield only scans http traffic and NOT https.

Hi

Thanks for the “immediate” response.

Yes I’ve added multiple versions of the link url and it doesn’t stop it (or do I need to restart the app?).

Basically each client has an account. Once I go into their account, I upload data to their account via an upload link (warning one), then confirm the file to upload (warning two), then return to the upload page (warning three), then confirm a date field (warning four) and then return to the upload page to view the file and date is correct (warning five)

I’ve put in the login url, the individual client account url and the upload link (both general and specific).

It happens with other function link within the clients account.

The only thing I can do for now is pause the std sheild each time but just tried this and upon resuming just locked the pc which means I’ve lost a bit of work open.

Trial and error I guess.

Thanks again

Add it to the standard shield exclutions. Left click the “a” icon, click standard shield, customize button, advanced tab.

I won’t hurt if you boot and restart WebShield. Did you use wildcards to add the link?
Can you post the link here?

That’s not good… maybe use the Exclusion list as oldman posted…
